Trader consensus heavily favors no Trump-Putin in-person meeting by June 30 at 83%, driven by the absence of any official announcement despite a recent April 29 phone call where Putin proposed a temporary Ukraine ceasefire around May 9 Victory Day but explicitly did not invite Trump to Moscow's parade. Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov confirmed the discussion focused on peace talks without scheduling a summit, amid ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war tensions and Ukraine's skepticism toward U.S. mediation. Low probabilities for China (5%) or Russia (3%) reflect no diplomatic signals or neutral venue coordination, with prior 2025 summits in Alaska and Hungary not repeated soon; upcoming Victory Day and Trump's mid-May China trip offer no confirmed bilateral opportunities.
